High-Speed Slitting Line Technology for Tight Tolerances
We specialize in converting wide master coils into multiple, precise narrow strips, ready for your stamping, roll-forming, or fabrication processes. Our slitting lines ensure consistent width, clean edges, and minimal burr, delivering material that is optimized for your specific needs.

Technology for Tight Tolerances
Our galvanizing follows a rigorous multi-step process: degreasing, pickling, fluxing, and immersion in a molten zinc bat, providing Our operation is centered around modern rotary slitting lines capable of processing master coils up to 60 inches (1500mm) wide and weighing over 20 metric tons. The process utilizes matched sets of male and female circular knives mounted on arbors to make longitudinal cuts with exceptional accuracy. We consistently hold strip width tolerances to within ±0.005 inches (±0.13mm), a critical specification for automated feeding in downstream manufacturing-free protection for 50+ years in many atmospheric conditions

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum and maximum strip width you can slit?
We can slit strips as narrow as 10mm (0.4″) up to the full width of the master coil, limited only by the number of cuts our arbor can accommodate.
What is the standard tolerance for slit strip width?
Our standard tolerance is ±0.005 inches (±0.13mm), though tighter tolerances can be achieved for specific applications and materials.
Do you offer edge conditioning or deburring?
Yes, we offer secondary services like edge rolling or mechanical deburring to prepare the slit coil for sensitive forming operations or safe handling.
Can you slit painted or pre-coated metals?
Yes, but it requires specialized tooling and setups to minimize coating damage and edge chipping. We evaluate such projects on a case-by-case basis.
